Pros

- People are passionate about their jobs and improving education - There is a great support network at some schools - You get to work closely with students and get to know them really well - There is a lot of opportunity to grow as a professional - Growing company - Get to work in education with students but not as a full time teacher (can try it out)

Cons

- Low pay (being honest) - Some schools have better support than others - Growing company (this is a pro and a con since there is opportunity to create new things but also there are still some things up in the air you have to figure out yourself)

Great entry point to education

Pros

Here are some of the positives of this program: Blueprint does a great job of hiring diverse Fellows coming from many different majors and career paths. This allows for excellent collaboration opportunities. The rooms are designed with an open floor plan so there is frequent, impromptu collaboration sessions. Additionally, this program allows you to focus almost equally on mentoring and instruction. You are allowed the opportunity to impact students' lives through more than math. The most important positive aspect of this program is that it offers a reasonable entry point into education. Many programs place inexperienced teachers in front of 30 students and do not provide the support necessary for success. The small-group approach allows you to learn teaching strategies on a micro-scale. This creates a fun environment that also contributes to social justice in a responsible way.

Cons

Some schools do not integrate the Math Fellows program into the rest of the school community. This is only true in some locations though.

Pros

I got to work with some of the most amazing kids I have ever met, and it is a great opportunity to help you understand if teaching is a possible career path for you. If you have a good coordinator, as I did my first year, it can be an awesome experience. However, if you have a bad coordinator, as I did my second year it can be absolutely awful.

Cons

Leadership has you fill out questionnaires on a weekly basis, but they are not taken seriously. The pay is terrible for how hard you work and how emotionally challenging the job can be. Expect to grind it out during the year and get a job over summer because 21,000 is near impossible to live off of in Denver now.
